Rega, who hails from New York, brings more than 20 years’ sales, partnerships and account management experience to her new role with TTG, a move that sees her rejoin the travel trade media after a stint with cruise start-up Cruisewatch.

Prior to this, Rega worked for Travel Weekly for more than 13 years, latterly as head of sales, and also has business development and corporate partnerships experience in the charitable sector.

TTG Media managing director Matt Roclawski said: "We look forward to welcoming Mary into our multi award-winning business to further strengthen our partnerships team led by sales director Mark Philbrick.

"Mary will help us offer global travel suppliers unrivalled marketing services, and support us on our continuing mission to build a smarter, better, fairer travel industry. Please join me in welcoming Mary to TTG Media and back into travel trade media where I’m sure she will continue to shine."

Rega’s appointment follows the arrival in May of sales director Philbrick and business development manager Amandine Joly.
